Belch,if you knew anything about the industry these days,you would know there is a lot of questionable shit going on in regards to bonuses and multiple accounts.I don't see where it is unreasonable to allow a book some time to check matters out.I'm sure it's unusual for a player to open an account and close it the follow day.Not saying that there is anything at all wrong with doing that,just unusual.I would not crucify a book for being cautious.As long as they do the right thing in the end is all that matters.

nope they never sent an email or phone call my account was frozen. When i called back for the details of my Western Union Withdrawal, they said my account has been frozen. Please keep in mind, they already took the money out of my account for the western union withdrawal, allowed me to bet a 1pm baseball game for 3 dimes, which i lost, and then when i call in at 4pm hoping to get the control number, they tell me i can have my original deposit back for now

Randy... although you can't get into your account to give us details, how about these two questions.

1. Amount of Deposit
2. Were your initial wagers on Horse Races which won?

Thanks

I know all about the industry Judge and I've never heard of a book investigating anyone for "fraud" when the player loses; only when the player beats them. Regardless of when the player opens or closes the account, if they complete the rollover and the bets win then they should be paid with no BS. If there's a bonus issue then why don't they withhold only the bonus and pay the rest until they can make a determination as to whether the player deserves a bonus? The right thing should not only be done but it should be done immediately.

Plus Belch,there have been instances in the past with books finding out about things such as hacking systems,past posting and things of this nature.I don't know who is wrong or right,or even the circumstances here,but I do believe a book has the right to make sure everything is on the up and up in certain cases.

"...there's something rotten in the state of Denmark..."

Anyway, I hope it all works out.

No Judge can't say I do, but without accusing him of anything he did mention that he played a few horse races and ballgames. Given that the timeframe of his deposit and withdrawal request is small I would venture a guess that the player

A. Made a fair sized deposit
B. Wagered on a Race that gave him a big return.
C. Made enough sports wagers with winnings to complete rollover requirements.
D. Is requesting balance be paid out.

If its anything even remotely along these lines then Rio is probably insuring everything is legit.

Again I am not accusing him but venturing a guess which is why I asked him about his Deposit amount and whether his first bets were on Horse races which he has yet to answer.

I really dislike unneccesary guessing games. Does not follow FROG guidelines of full disclosure of beef. So many gray areas here it is like standing in a pocket of dense fog. More information, less speculation. Best Wishes...OF

belch you have read my mind. By the way surfboard, i have heard good stuff about pinnacle, maybe i should start wagering there?

hopefully rio can pay me the money they owe tomorrow

they can even take any bonus i got, i dont care. Just because i hit some exactas and baseball games, they say fraud. That as a bettor should raise flags for us

There shall be no red flags raised until we hear the entire circumstances regarding this.

Rio has always taken very good care of me. Randy, let me be more direct, FULL DISCLOSURE! Not really into newbies raising red flags for me. Just because I hit some exactas and baseball games? Not to be cynical, but there has to be more than that. Posters that are vague are that way for a reason...Best Wishes...OF

i would be specific but i cant log onto my account buddy

fact is, rio is delaying

i hope i will still play there, but i mean they would have to apologize to me because i did not do anything wrong

one day this will happen to one of you guys, and ytou feel the way i feel , helpless. this is my first account offshore, and already im going through this. you guys have no sympathy for a book just abusing a player

What's with the editing of my post bucsfan? It's no big deal to me but I see name-calling tolerated all the time in this forum so why not now? Does Rio's status as an advertiser mean they can't be slammed when it's warranted? I viewed the thread in the disputes forum and I noticed that Rio's representative didn't deny that they owed this guy the money. Therefore, regardless of whether or not RJ provides all the details of his wagers, one can only conclude that Rio should pay up and do so immediately. "Fraud"? It sounds to me like Rio doesn't have the dough to cover this and they're playing for time.

Rio has been an outstanding book since 1996......FACT!

Newbie comes to RX claiming foul on what seems to be a very strange set of circumstances by anyones stretch of imagination.

RIO has come to the forum and FLATLY stated this will be resolved in 48 hours, which will be tommorrow.

Then, and only then, can any of us make judgements.

Until then, anybody bashing RIO over this at this time as no common sense.
